<div class="PageCaption">Adding Tooltips to the Graph</div>

<p>
You can add a <span class="Definition">tooltip</span> to each of the graph's vertices.  A tooltip is a small text window that pops up when you hover the mouse over a vertex in the <a href="../WorkbookTour/GraphPane.htm">Graph Pane</a>.  Tooltips can interactively provide detailed vertex information without cluttering the graph with long <a href="../VisualProperties/Labels.htm">vertex labels</a>.
</p>

<p>
You cannot add tooltips to the graph's edges.
